Hosted by Hans Aström, Matt Day & Demetri Walters MW Klein Constantia has gone through many iterations since its genesis in 1685, but having seen itself referenced in works by both Charles Dickens and Jane Austen, this land has rarely been far away from centre stage. In addition to touching on its occasionally turbulent past, Demetri Walters MW delves into the soils and cellars of Klein Constantia with its managing director Hans Aström and winemaker Matt Day. Particular attention is paid to the legendary sweet wine, Vin de Constance, which was revived by the estate, has been instrumental in forging its reputation and marks the finale to the accompanying set of fabulous wines available to our digital members.

Hosted by Rajeev Samant, Kerry Damskey & Steve Daniel Up until 1996, the Indian province of Nashik was virgin wine territory, yet today it is considered the wine capital of India. It was Sula’s founder Rajeev Samant who envisioned a new future for the region, planted its first wine grapes and triggered Nashik’s remarkable ascent to the pinnacle of Indian winemaking. This is what Sula does, it blazes trails, and this is a rare opportunity to go behind the cellar doors and taste a clutch of its wines, alongside not only Samant but also Sula’s master winemaker Kerry Damskey.   Hear the reasoning behind that monumental leap of faith and what these figureheads of Sula see in their crystal ball, not just for Sula but also the entire Indian wine scene. It’s no doubt a future they will play a hand in mapping.

Hosted by Jasper Morris MW 2015 ranks as one of Burgundy’s preeminent red vintages of recent times, with more than a smattering of stardust to be found along the region’s Route des Grand Crus. Yet, despite the lauded nature of the year, the empirical observations of Jasper Morris MW are no less crucial. In this episode, Morris delivers his verdict on 2015, cherry-picking a handful of wines from key appellations to make his case, while reviewing the vintage’s talking points, explain what to look out for, and how much staying power you can expect from this celebrated year.

Hosted by Jane Anson & Hervé Berland We are on home turf for Jane Anson in this episode of Live From the Vines, as we meander to Saint-Estèphe to meet Hervé Berland, CEO of Château Montrose. Here we learn the story of three families, pioneers in the Médoc since 1815, each on a quest for excellence and legendary vintages, who built and shaped Château Montrose over the course of two centuries. We then look into the future through the eyes of current owners, Martin and Olivier Bouygues, who launched a seven year renovation of the estate, including a 1,000-m2, 11 metre-high main barrel hall for maturation in ideal conditions and 3,000 m2 of rooftop solar panels.

Hosted by Jane Anson The soils of Pessac-Léognan – awash with sand and gravel – arguably provided the genesis of what is today the world’s most celebrated and marketable region: Bordeaux. In 1305, the man who was to become Pope Pape Clément V planted the first vineyard on the estate now known as Château Pape Clément, while in the mid-17th century, the then owners of Château Haut Brion - the only non-Médoc classed growth and where grapes have been cultivated since Roman times – opened an eponymous tavern in London (the Pontac’s Head) as a means of promoting and selling its wines. This is an extraordinary opportunity to taste from these two historic properties as well as four of its esteemed peers. Lead by Bordeaux specialist Jane Anson, this tour of Pessac examines its history, climate and terroir which have coalesced to create not only phenomenal red wines but superlative whites as well.

Hosted by Nick Mills & Jo Mills Rippon’s home of Wanaka on New Zealand’s South Island would deserve to sit on any rollcall listing wine’s most dramatic landscapes. This pocket of Central Otago has been under the stewardship of the Mills family since 1912, although it wasn’t until the mid-1970s that thoughts turned – albeit tentatively  - to growing vines, when Rolf Mills laid down a few experimental rows. Join and taste alongside winemaker Nick Mills and his wife Jo (Rippon’s director), as they illustrate Rippon’s evolution from its speculative beginnings to the prime, unirrigated, biodynamic estate it is today. Hear how their predecessors had the freedom to plant with wild abandon, meaning anything and everything went into the ground, before successive generations sorted the wheat from the chaff and settled on the six varieties they grow today.

Hosted by Wink Lorch & Rosemary George MW Sat between Burgundy and the Swiss border, Jura is an effortlessly chic yet tricky to grasp region whose renaissance continues unabated. Its patchwork of soils is comparable to the array of wines made here, which run the gamut of styles, from sleek, contemporary table wines through to unconventional, oxidatively aged masterpieces. Our guides are Rosemary George MW and author Wink Lorch, who help unfurl the mystery of this land, cherry-picking a line-up of wines which showcase the startling heritage and modern-day talent of the Jura.
